Muttaburrasaurus langdoni Ornithischia Ornithopoda

Skeleton of Muttaburrasaurus
Muttaburrasaurus is herbivorous and belongs to the Iguanodontia, but its relationships with other iguanodontians are controversial. This dinosaur is characterized by having an enlarged snout with a hollow chamber, that might have been functioned for vocalization or smell. Its dentition is considered to be adapted for shearing, not grinding, as in ceratopsian dinosaurs.
